Beastie Links

The Pentagon's 'Concurrency Myth' Is Now Available In Supercarrier Size. Hey, want to read an article that will make you upset over how the military spends its money? Well, today is your lucky day. What's a few Billion dollars building an aircraft carrier that can't actually launch aircraft? It's not like they're spending your money.

New Star Wars Character Inspired By The Beastie Boys. One of the characters in the new Star Wars movie is an X-Wing Pilot called Ello Asty... as in Hello Nasty. His Helmet even has Born to Ill written on it in some weird made up language. I'm guessing that Ello Asty probably won't have a lot of lines but I'll bet he sells plenty of figures. George Lucas would be so proud.

10 White People Who Inexplicably Became Ninjas. Do you think Japan has a version of the white guy becomes ninja trope? Like is there a whole series of movies where Japanese guys are raised by rednecks? I feel like there's a frog gigging montage in there somewhere.

I Tried Daily Fantasy Sports And It Is Evil. This is the weekly NFL Dick Joke Jambaroo from Drew Magary which is something I normally wouldn't link to (although you should be reading it anyway) but he goes a bit long form up at the top talking about his experience with Draft Kings who you may or may not have noticed now SPONSOR EVERY FOOTBALL GAME EVER! I've always wanted to know just what kind of a scam they're running over there and he lays it out for you pretty well.

Long story short if you want to throw away your money send it to me. I'm buying a bunch of Scooby-Doo Team Up #12s because Harley Quinn is the guest star and there was a low print run. When the Suicide Squad movie hits I'm going to be rolling in it!

Lego Ninjago Fight!

My son is SUPER into Lego Ninjago right now. If you're unfamiliar Ninjago is a line of ninja Legos. There's a TV show, a bunch of books and of course Legos. He's so into them that we went to a Lego convention this weekend and yesterday when I asked him what his favorite part was he said "the black ninja", refering to the back Ninjago mini-figure we bought him.

There was a 40,000 piece Hogwarts there and a 8 foot long Star Destroyer and to him the 4 dollar figure we bought him was the highlight of the show.

Reminder: I'm very excited about GI Joe: Retaliation

Every time someone says that GI Joe: Retaliation looks like shit I get super indignant and say something to the effect of "Snake-Eyes shoots throwing stars out of the air with a uzi. your argument is invalid".

So without further ado, here's the scene where Snake-Eyes shoots throwing stars out of the air with an uzi. It's everything I want a GI Joe movie to be.

Amazonian Links

For Better or Worse, Wonder Woman is coming back to TV. I once said that there was no way a you could make a Wonder Woman TV show, with her traditional costume, that didn't look cheezy and stupid. Problem solved, the new Wonder Woman show will be called Amazon and it'll be on the CW so I'm sure she'll be fighting crime in a leather jacket and no one will ever call her Wonder Woman. Yay?

The Best Dungeons & Dragons Character Alignments. Funny list that makes me wish I played more D&D as a kid. I think I played all of 3 times, most of the times I was playing one of the knock of RPG games based on a existing franchise like TMNT or Robotech.

Japan's Ninjas are Headede for Extinction. Yeah right, that's what the Ninjas want you to believe. Then when you think they're all extinct, boom! Shuriken right between the eyes.

Randy Couture Responds to Steven Seagal's fight challenge. Conventional wisdom once was that Steven Seagal actually knew karate (or akido or whatever it is) and Jean Claude Van Damme was just a really buff gymnast. But lately I've been hearing from more and more guys in MMA that Seagal is a total joke and Van Damme actually spars on a regular basis. I don't know what to believe anymore!

Le Ninja

Here's some french jokester playing pranks on people while dressed up as a Ninja. Ok, Maybe he's not French maybe he's French-Canadian. My work computer has no speakers. He looks French.

Either way, now I want some fries.

Now that's Fishing

When I was a kid my dad always wanted to take me fishing. I absolutely hated it. Maybe if he had used water skis and swords as opposed to fish finders and downriggers I would've liked it a bit more.

Wolverine vs The Hand

I'm not really sure what this is. I'm sure it's wolverine fighting some ninjas in a real artsy kinda way but past that I don't have a clue. I think it's french, it looks french to me.

Ninjas Vs Luchadors

What would you say if I told you that you can get this rad Ninjas vs Luchadors drawing as a t-shirt for the ultra low price of $18? Really? well that's rude and uncalled for.

Van Damme would have been awesome in this

Hey kids, remember Trishelle from the Real World Las Vegas? What, you don't? Well, she was the one that even after a pregnancy scare, refused to use protection while having sex with one of her roommates. Sure that doesn't sound like much these days but back in 2002 it was the most incredible Real World season ever. Well she's back, and staring in what looks like a horrible movie called Ninja Cheerleaders. check out the trailer and try to explain to me why cheerleader = stripper? I guess when you're also a ninja you need to make sure you keep your resume diverse.
